Teaching and tech
This year has been quite the year!
Integrating technology into teaching, especially when you don’t have a consistent class can be tricky.
However, in terms of supporting my organisation, keeping records, advancing productivity, communication, creativity, pupil and parent engagement and assisting access for my SEN children- technology and integrating it is the way to go!!!
Always learning!
Clarity
Clarity of mind comes from many things. These are different for everyone!
For me clearing my mind from a busy job comes through relaxation, including creativity.
It also comes from working out!
I am NOT a runner! I will walk, but even then I sometimes think too much about everything. The gym helps me clear my mind. Focus on improving, strengthening my back, improving my health, challenging myself and pushing my boundaries! I enjoy it and it benefits me...
Getting into routines of purposefully clearing time are what needs to happen next!
I go to an amazing gym where supporting mental health and cultivating community in an encouraging, supportive environment are key!
Dressmaking
Did part of a dressmaking course before Christmas, just as life got a little chaotic.
The benefits were great, I learnt new skills, how to read a pattern, how to do seams, etc.
The truth is in the sewing and actual doing however, so this adventure is just beginning.....
I’m excited where it is taking me!
Final quilt types
Some more....
Sewing
Sewing eases my mind. It focuses me and lets out my creative side a little. I like the rhythmic nature of it. It helps clear my head.
I also love that you can end up with lovely things as gifts or for yourself.
My mother sparked this love when I was little and has fostered, encouraged and supported me.
She is absolutely AMAZING at quilts, if I can be anywhere near a tenth of her ability I’d be happy!!
So here’s a few little pieces from quilt and bunting fun....
Constants in my bathroom- odour eliminator (1 part to 7parts water) with some peppermint, lemon and eucalyptus oils for a fresh smell, instead of harsh air freshener aerosols!
No more cotton pads- I use the body cloths for face cleaning, make up removal- literally just add water!
Baby cloths- I use these instead of a sponge in the shower.
Chemical free cleaning
My favourite! Quick and works brilliantly!
My mother will agree (despite her best efforts), I’m not one for cleaning! When I get in the mood, I will scrub for hours and everything will be spotless.
However, with a busy full time (and more) job, I often do not then want to clean!
Discovering the dusting mitt and cloths where all you needed was water- life changing!
Dusting takes 10mins max!!! Mirrors are spotless and streak free. Everything is clean and no harsh smells to mess with my breathing!
If I do want a nice ‘clean smell’, I add some lemon / eucalyptus / peppermint oil to my ‘odour eliminator’ bottle.
Also I find I need to dust less often as it is truly gone, not just moved about!
Happiness is, less effort!
I also love my Polti steam cleaner!! All steam no chemicals!
I am trying TOMM- The Organised Mum Method. It is time saving, fun and a really efficient way to try and keep on top of things!

I have been on a chemical free cleaning journey for a while now!
A friend introduced me to this company a number of years ago. At the time I was having some allergic reactions to a chemical unknown so it sparked my interest!
Now I wouldn’t turn back!!!
These pieces mean so much to me. The furniture (except the bookcase) belonged to my grandparents! They hold memories and sentimental value as well as being functional and lovely to look at.
The majority of the old books belonged to my grandfather and I adore and share that passion of his to read and learn, Ruminate and discuss.
These links to the people I love, as well as how they make my home unique are vital.
As far as possible in my home I’ve tried to repurpose furniture! From £10 and inherited pieces, to ‘headed for the dump’ and beautiful sturdy bits! All this storage is beautiful, lasts and not new! And I adore it! Gives me the little eclectic mix I love!
This is the year of doing...
In life I’ve been ‘doing’ so much. The majority of that has been busy times with work, spending time with loved ones and general life!
Some of it has slowly been rediscovering creativity, swaps for better health, more awareness of my consumerism as a planet dweller.
So this shall be the start of new adventures...
A place to show the changes, adventures, creativity and that the doing can lead to exciting places!
